I wrote an review recently for a company - I linked to them in my post, but I also shared via social media with a hashtag containing their company name.

I'm not an affiliate for this company, but the review was a positive one.

The company then shared my review via social media. On Facebook and twitter that I can see so far. They then suggested that other people check out my blog! :)

They have a pretty large following and from them simply sharing my post, my traffic has gone through the roof today!

My point here is, you never know when someone who has a large social following will share your website and what an immense impact this can have on your business.

You can also make this happen yourself, by letting big companies or bloggers know that you have written about them or mentioned them. People like to be mentioned :)

This is certainly something I will be doing more of!
